[Controlled double-blind study (SAMe-imipramine) in depressive syndromes].

Thirty one patients were treated with either S-Adenosylmethionine or Imipramine in a double-blind clinical trial comparing S-Adenosylmethionine (25 mg i.m. three times daily) with Imipramine (25 mg i.m. three times daily) administered for a period of three weeks. Hamilton Rating scores showed no significant differences between treatments, but such slight differences as were observed favoured S-Adenosylmethionine.

[Electromyographic study of sciatica caused by lumbosacral disk hernia. Apropos of 40 cases with operative findings].

The Authors present the electromyographic study of 40 cases of low-back and sciatic pain due to lumbar herniation of the intervertebral disk after surgical checking. The E.M.G. parameters, which are thought to be more valid in order to make a diagnosis of the motor nerve-root pain and choose the test muscles to be examined, are shown here. Following the data of scientific publications, a special emphasis is put on the usefulness of the this check-up in order to supply important elements for the evaluation of the degree and position of the nerve-root damage.

[Polyneuropathy in lithium therapy].

We hereby report a case of manic depressive psychosis. The patient had been treated for years with lithium carbonate (600 mg/die, lithium serum concentration equal to 0.7 mEq/l) and came to us under observation for a sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with mostly axonal degeneration. The central nervous system had not been involved. Excluding any possible causes of peripheral neuropathy and since no precipitating circumstances were ascertained, a clinical improvement was noticed after suspending the therapy.
